Back from the back woods of Kentucky

Our week of camp is over and the Lord really did a work in our youth group. While we were there, we had one accept Jesus as their Savior and another teen surrendered his life to the Lord. Several other of our teens also made decisions and our group has come back on fire for the Lord. It's quite exciting as the teenagers decided themselves to site in the the first couple pews during the services. It certainly was a different Sunday yesterday with almost all the teenagers sitting up front. God truly did a work in the lives of their teenagers and I'm really thankful for that. As for posting, I'm working on some posts for today and will have them up in the next few hours. God bless!

Next week, I'm gone to camp with my youth group!

Next week, posts will be almost non-existent. I will be with the youth group at Camp Victory in Somerset, KY. The camp is located in the back hills of Kentucky and cell receiption is very weak. I will probably not have any internet available for me. This is fine because I do not mind the break from the internet, however, I was hoping to have some pictures posted for parents and family to see. So you might see some pics of us at camp next week via my iPhone. Well, see... when I do get back we will be very close to the Gadget Pastor Blog's first anniversary. I'm really excited about it and I think we will be having a contest for our readers. Be sure to check back!

A downloadable manual on Dating for teens

If you are a youth pastor, you have experienced first hand teenage love. You have those couples that are so exclusive that they seldom participate and seemingly cause you grief. Currently, I'm taking my teenagers thru a series on dating and one of the resourse I'm using is a dating manual written by Pastor Todd Sawtelle. The manual called "Dating: Disaster or Delight" is superbly written and loaded with Scripture to back up the ideas behind it. I'd highly recommend it to any youth pastor and if you have not considered speaking to your teenagers about dating, now would be a good time.
